The Luxury of sheer space, in the tangled heart of Baroque Rome, just moments from Piazza Navona.
It is a vision of absolute purity, not merely a residence, but a pause in time.

Another first that feels like it should've come sooner, first time setting foot in the eternal city itself
Perhaps the most exquisite surviving ancient doors in all of Europe
The bronze doors to the Pantheon, pushing 1900 years old and still functioning!
#ReliefWednesday with the restored Ara Pacis Augustae: "Altar of Augustan Peace"
Built to honour the return of Augustus to Rome after three years in Hispania and Gaul
consecrated in 9BC
Opposite the Colosseum, you can hardly fail to be impressed by the surviving coffered vaulted ceiling of the Temple of Venus and Rome,
Inaugurated by Hadrian in 135, damaged by fire in 307 & restored with alterations by the emperor Maxentius.
Huge surviving mosaic floor at the baths of Caracalla in Rome

Then on the opposite side of the forum the Arch of Septimius Severus
More triumphal arches with the arch of Titus, at the entrance to the Roman forum, built in around 81 AD
#SundayStonework with some of the magnificent triumphal arches around Rome
Beginning with the arch of Constantine, completed in 315, just opposite the Colosseum
The Circus Maximus: the ancient Roman chariot-racing venue, with the ruins of the 'Severine Arches' visible in the distance from the Palatine Hill
More Corinthian capitals & former temples with the Temple of Hadrian, the external colonnade surviving with the remains of the temple incorporated into a later building
& just opposite the Temple of Portunus, the round Temple of Hercules Victor, built in C2 BC the tile roof is later
another pleasant surprise - the very well preserved Temple of Portunus, originally built in C4-3 BC but rebuilt between 120–80 BC
Just across from the Theate of Marcellus: the Portico of Octavia, the remains of an ancient walkway from C2 BC linking two Roman temples
survived thanks to its incoporation into a church
There were plenty of surprises in Rome that I was loosely aware of but not overly familiar such as the Theatre of Marcellus, transformed & augmented by buildings over the centuries but its original form still clearly visible, completed in 13 BC
Still on the Baths in Rome, there are other smaller-yet impressive fragments elsewhere such as this: the southwestern exedra of the baths of Trajan, a short walk from the Colosseum
Of course the Baths of Caracalla aren't the only spectacular bath ruins in Rome & the Baths are Diocletian are almost as-impressive
it also houses a museum
Whatever we were expecting from Rome, was not prepared for the Baths of Caracalla! They are ridiculous 😳 compared to the Roman ruins we have in the Uk, its almost unthinkable ancient buildings could still be standing at close to six storeys high!
